FADE TO BLACK…
I am about to go on vacation, so there will not be any posts here for two weeks. That gives you plenty of time to catch up on older entries and peruse/make fun of my insane Lost theories, leave comments, or play the silly movie game. Or not.
My mind has already wandered far. I have been thinking about vacation movies, or at least the ones which feature traveling and/or beautiful locales. So here you go.
- 50 First Dates & Blue Crush (aloha)
- Amelie (the Paris I would like to see, not the one I experienced many years ago)
- The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (fabulous!)
- Brokeback Mountain (quite possibly the most visually stunning setting ever for a film)
- Cocktail (although Tommy wouldn’t be in my tropical paradise)
- Dirty Dancing & A Walk on the Moon (for family cabin camping and drama in the Catskills)
- Little Miss Sunshine (the van of my childhood was more spacious and reliable)
- National Lampoon’s European Vacation (I prefer it to the original)
- The Talented Mr. Ripley (sans the stalker/murder stuff)
- Under the Tuscan Sun (I heart Italy)
Obviously there are far more that would fit this list. By all means, please remind me what I’m missing!
Soon I will be firmly planted in a deck chair aboard a giant ship headed to Alaska, bundled up, photographing glaciers, listening to my iPod and drinking hot chocolate…with Kahlua. No cell, no email, no blog. Yikes. Good times!
Bon voyage.
